But what command and options exactly?
The command has options that may help

How windows does it is sort of immaterial . Your system's ACPI is designed for Windows use, and probably doesn't follow standards, if there even are any.

I'd still check your BIOS settings

What specific command string? There are many options that can be used for various purposes.

Continue to work or are just not shut off?
This is probably hardware specific,. as this is mostly determined by the motherboard. Mine has options for this in the BIOS.

It doesn't matter whether I enter the shutdown command from the commandline or click the shutdown button from the taskbar. However, the same hardware shuts down completely when Windows shutdown.

I noticed that when I issue the shutdown command in Linux, the USB connected devices continue to work. However, when I do the same in Windows, all the USB devices are shut down. What could be the reason for this?
